Chris Eubank Jr.'s keys to victory

Turn the volume way up
If Eubank is going to get a crack at Alvarez, he's going to not only need a victory this weekend but one in spectacular fashion.
To do this, the British fighter must turn his punch volume way up and drown Szeremeta out with activity.
Eubank's rousing TKO victory over Liam Smith in their rematch last September showed that Eubank is capable of a high output and he'll need to drive his punch count up in this one, too.
Assert the power jab
Szeremeta has a penchant of dipping his head with a high guard as he moves around the ring.
That slight lowering of his head makes him the perfect target for a Eubank power jab.
Keeping Szeremeta honest with that weapon could quickly pave the way for Eubank to unleash something more devastating.
Revisit Eubank's victory over Smith from last fall and you'll see how smooth his uppercut can be.
Szeremeta's aforementioned stance makes him the apt candidate to treat to a buffet of unrelenting uppercuts that carve up and overwhelm the Polish fighter to a stoppage.

Let hands go more and with forward fighting
If Eubank is going to drive up his punch volume, Szeremeta will be counted on to do the same.
Forward progress and not getting deserted in the centre of the ring where Eubank can feast has to be attached to this key to victory if Szeremeta is going to play spoiler to Eubank's grand plans.
Smooth, rhythm fighters like Eubank don't like to be thrown out of sync.
Showing a willingness to punching the British fighter in traffic in attempt to corner him and unleash a barrage of shots could go long ways toward Szeremeta's chances for the upset.
Time counterpunches
Eubank's uppercuts in close quarters should grant Szeremeta the agency to place a well-timed counterpunch back the other way.
Doing this successfully could be the output Szeremeta needs to make this fight go longer in distance perhaps.
